Director of Campus Operations
Oregon Episcopal School
SUMMARY
Just 15 minutes southwest of downtown Portland sits Oregon Episcopal School (OES), which since 1869 has been educating students from around the world with a commitment to inclusion, purpose, service, and social justice. Situated on nearly 60 acres, OES is surrounded by wetlands and other natural elements within the diverse, dynamic, and thriving neighborhoods of Portland and Beaverton.
The director of campus operations (DCO) is a new role that has been created to replace the outgoing director of facilities, who has ably and passionately served the school with remarkable dedication for 49 years. During his tenure, the school has grown and evolved, undertaking numerous building projects — many of them complex that spanned multiple years and involved large-scale capital campaigns. In parallel, the facilities department has expanded itself, and now nearly 30 employees roll up to the department’s leadership post, which in turn reports directly to the head of school.
The DCO will oversee four functional units, each with its own leader: facilities (custodial, grounds, and maintenance); transportation; safety and security; and a greenhouse project. The DCO will not have any major construction projects to administer in the first year or so, which will give the director a chance to establish partnerships and connections with the community. However, the director will be a part of long-term campus visioning initiatives and would eventually be asked to serve as the school’s owner’s rep for any major construction projects.
In the nearer-term, the school just completed a safety and security audit, and a director of safety and security will eventually report to the DCO. While OES has had no major incidents on campus, the new head of school — who is finishing his first year – wants to be proactive to ensure that a school with over 50 domestic and international boarding students, a community parish, and an open campus remains diligent in its overall duty of care. Also early on, the DCO will be asked to coordinate with department and division heads to prioritize and plan smaller-scale operational, facilities, and logistical projects.
Ideally, the DCO would be able to start prior to June 30, 2024 — when the outgoing director of facilities is scheduled to retire. If not, the school is prepared to keep the outgoing director of facilities on temporary retainer to ensure a graceful and smooth leadership transition. The DCO at this revered and nationally acclaimed school will report to the head of school and serve on the senior administrative team.
